Runaway teen found at Nashville nightclub

Metro Nashville police found a runaway Lebanon girl reported missing since Aug. 30 at a popular Nashville nightclub early Sunday morning and returned her to her mother.

Lebanon police Chief Scott Bowen said authorities found Deshon L. Crawford, 16, at Club Miami at 295 E. Thompson Lane in Nashville. Crawford was charged with curfew violation and taken to a juvenile detention center in Nashville.

Crawford’s mother, Melissa Crawford Holdeman, reportedly picked her up and is back in her custody. Bowen said Metro Nashville police removed Crawford from the National Crime Information Center database as missing.

“She’s home safe; [I] just got back with her,” said Melissa Crawford Holdeman on Sunday at about 7 a.m. in a Facebook post. “Remember, if you have faith of a mustard seed that, and tell that mountain to move, it will move. Thank you all for everything. I can never repay you all for the time and prayers you have spent helping to find her. God has blessed us with you kind-hearted people.”

On Tuesday, Bowen said had heard from a friend of Crawford’s who said she saw her a week prior.
